#31 - How stress is the real cause of disease

Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, we're going to talk about stress and your health and how stress can make you sick. My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, Doctor of Chiropractic. And today we're going to talk about how health can affect, can cause cancer and many, many other diseases, and how it's important to control your stress level in your life. I am doing this show to educate the public on health and wellness, and we're going to talk about this topic that's really important. So stress and health; how can stress affect your health? We know for a fact that health is affected by stress. We know that it can cause all kinds of things; it can cause cancer, it can cause heart attacks, it can cause high blood pressure can cause kidney disease, skin disease, depression, and many, many, many other things. So this topic for me, is very personal. As most people know, I lost my wife from cancer, breast cancer. And her doctor said to her, said that, you've had this cancer for over 30 years. And she had mammograms every year for, you know, since she was in her 20s. And she had cyst in the breast and she would go for checkups on a yearly basis and the doctor would say “Oh, it's nothing to worry about. It's just a cyst, we'll check it next year, come back and we'll do another mammogram, everything is fine.” So, at about age 48, she did a biopsy, and the biopsy was positive. And she was diagnosed with Stage 4 malignant cancer. And the cancer had spread to the lungs, the bone, the ribcage, the liver. And she had to do treatment at that time; she did chemo for about a year, which instead of curing the problem, it actually created more tumors. And this time, it created tumors in the brain. So she had to stop chemo after about a year. So one of the tumor was successfully removed from the brainstem without any side effects, and the second tumor was radiated with radiation therapy, and she was fine. But after she started chemo, she realized that chemo was not the solution and she needed to find something else, so we looked into a holistic approach. So we went to this holistic center called Utopia Wellness. And this Dr. Garcia was running the place and he wrote a book called Cancer Is A Symptom. And all the patients that were the clinic were all Stage 4 cancer, and most of them got pretty good results and they did really well.

#30 - Health system based on fear vs faith

Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, I'm doing the show on Health Care System Based On Fear Versus Based On Faith. Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients, and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, I'm a doctor of chiropractic. Stay tuned for the show on fear versus faith. So we're doing this show to educate the public on health and wellness, and basically we're going to talk to you about what can we do to become healthier, what can we do to make some changes on our healthcare system. Do we operate on our lives living in fear or do we operate living in faith? We grow up with all kinds of fears that we learn from our parents and grandparents. And sometimes our children grew up with the same kind of fears that we grew up with. As a parent, I don't want any of my kids growing up with my fears, I would love to break the cycle. And some of the example of some of the fears that we grow up with things like being afraid of heights or being afraid of flying or being afraid of death or being afraid of sickness, being afraid of the water; a lot of people are afraid to go in the water, they're afraid of swimming or drowning. Some people are afraid of sharks in the ocean. Some of us are afraid of darkness. And you know, a lot of us are afraid of germs these days. So we don't want to let our fear become their fears. We want our kids to grew up not having any fear or any limitations. We want them to grow up, to graduate from college and succeed in life and become successful, and not be afraid of anything. So what is the definition of fear? In the dictionary, it says that fear is an unpleasant often strong emotion, caused by an anticipation of awareness of danger. Another definition is an unpleasant feeling triggered by the perception of danger. And sometimes, it's real, and sometimes it's imagined. So we have a healthcare system that is based on fear. Health and sickness today is based on fear. Do we operate on fear or do we operate on faith? The healthcare system that we have today was designed based on fear, not faith. We were made up of trillions, we’re afraid of germs and bacterias and viruses, because that's what we learned. The medical community and the drug companies are teaching us to be afraid of germs. Were made up of trillions of bacteria and viruses. Right now, there is 380 trillion viruses living inside of us, living inside of the body, and basically they coexist with the body.

#29 - The importance of the brain body connection | DA

Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today I'm going to do a talk about the importance of the brain body connection. Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. And we're going to talk to you about the brain, how important the brain is. Stay tuned, I'm doing the show to educate the public on wellness and health, and how the body works and how it functions, and what we can do to be healthier. So what does chiropractic have to do with the brain? The brain affects every function of the body. So how does the brain communicate with the rest of the body? Most people think, well, you know, the chiropractic is just something to do with the back, brain, back problems. It's not that, it's a lot more than that. Chiropractic has to do with the brain, the nervous system, the nerves. So the nervous system controls pretty much every function in the body by sending messages from the brain. So the communication there is so important. So how many messages go down from the brain to the rest of the body? Trillions of messages go through the brainstem, which is the stem below the skull, that goes into the spine, and it goes into the spinal cord, and eventually that goes to the nervous system. And basically, there's about 75 trillion neural pathways that run down the brainstem. And it's amazing how it works. So in order to understand how this works, I think it's important to understand the embryology, how we are created and what's really the most important organ in the body. And obviously, the most important organ is the brain. But how does it happen in the early stage of conception? You have a cell from the mom, a cell from the dad, and it gets together and it forms one cell. And then it multiplies into 2 cells, 4 cells, 8, 16, 32, 64. And eventually, that becomes a clump of cells, and that becomes the brain. And that's the first thing that's formed within days of conception. So the first organ to form is the brain. So from the brain, a little stem comes out which develops the spinal cord, and from there, it just grows and grows in and then eventually off the spinal cord, you have nerves that come out.

#28 - benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy | DA

Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, I'm going to talk about the benefit of chiropractic care during pregnancy. My name is Dr. Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. Stay tuned for Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. I'm doing this show to educate the public on wellness and health, and how you can be healthy naturally. And today we're going to focus on pregnancy and chiropractic. One of the most important time for a woman to receive chiropractic care is during her pregnancy. From the moment of conception, your body goes through a series of changes, and the back, the pelvis, postural changes can cause all kinds of problems with the back. Can cause pain and discomfort. And the good news is chiropractic can help. So, how can chiropractic help? Your spine is made up of 24 independent vertebrae that enables the body to twist, to bend, to move, and it can also help to protect the delicate central nervous system that controls and coordinates every part of your body; every cell, every tissue, every organ in the body. So if a bone goes out of alignment or out of place, you can have a subluxation, which is when the vertebrae goes out of alignment. So basically it's common known as a joint dysfunction, and it happens when two or more vertebrae are out of alignment, and it's pressing on the nerve, and it's impeding the body's ability to communicate with itself. So a joint dysfunction during pregnancy can be caused by changes that take place in your body as you prepare to support you and also the new bundle of joy. So for roughly 50% of all pregnant women, they experienced back problems, back pain during their pregnancy. And up to 75% of the women experience back pain and back problems during the labor. However, only 21% of the women seek consultation with their doctor or anyone for back problems, and most of them believe it's normal and they believe that it's expected during the course of a pregnancy, but it doesn't have to be that way. So in recent years, chiropractic care has been included as a safe and effective treatment for pregnant patients to help them to have a comfortable pregnancy. Right now, I have a lady in this, about two months old. And she cannot imagine not going through getting chiropractic care for her back, because every day, she has some issues or something going on.

#27 - Make time for your health | DA

Make time for your health Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, I'm going to do the show about how we need to make time for our health and how important it is to find the time to take care of yourself. Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. And stay tuned. We're going to do this show to show you how you can take care of yourself and make time for your health and how we have plenty of time to take care of ourselves and our health. So I talk to patients all the time about taking time for their health. Everybody comes in and they say, well, you know, I’ve got to go back to work. I've been hurting for the last 20 years, but I’ve got to go back to work tomorrow. And basically, I have to sit down with my patients and tell them hey, listen, this didn't just happen yesterday, it took a while for this to happen. So we need to make some changes in your life. So what I hear from patients all the time is, I don't have time, I'm too busy. I can't go to the gym, you know, there's not enough hours in the day. I can't listen to this lecture; I have to go. You know, I'm in a hurry. I can't read a book, I can't educate myself on taking care of myself like you want me to. Listening to a podcast, I mean, 10, 15 minutes, nobody has time anymore. There's just not enough hours in the day. That's what everybody always say. So the hospital is full of people that did not take time for their health and they got sick. And they made excuses. It is so much easier to take care of your health by taking a pill. Or it's so much easier to just have surgery and do bariatric surgery, if you want to lose weight. Or it's so much easier to just have plastic surgery and make some decisions that can be harmful. Or if you have back problems, it's so much easier to just go and say, well, I’m just going to have surgery. And that is just not the solution. So I was listening to a lecture Saturday night, I was at a lecture and the wife of one of the chiropractors spoke up, and she sees a realtor. And she's a very, very busy lady, she also owns a daycare. She's a wife, she's a mom of two kids, she cooks she cleans. And she was talking about, she was lecturing about, if you think you're too busy to take care of yourself, she says “Think about this.” There is 168 hours in the week, you know, 24 hours a day times 7 is 168 hours. If you sleep 9 hours a night, that's about 56 hours per week.
